Personal
life

Moon was raised in Connecticut and, after graduating from Plainville High School when she
was 17, moved to California. Afterwards, she moved between
homes in both states to attend school and seek work.[2]
On October 31, 2002 she married musician and film director Rob Zombie after almost
13 years of dating. The two had met at Toad's Place, a concert venue, in New
Haven, Connecticut through mutual friends.[3]
Ten days before their planned wedding date, the couple decided to
elope and
get married on Halloween.

Career

Moon had aspirations to do cartoon voiceovers, and even took
classes,[4]
and briefly attended the Connecticut School of Broadcasting to
become an MTV
VJ[3]
But Moon found herself preoccupied going on tour with Zombie. When
Zombie's band White
Zombie disbanded, Zombie became a solo artist, taking Moon on
as a dancer where she also choreographed routines and created
costumes for the tour.

In 2003, Moon co-starred in her husband's first feature film,
House of 1000 Corpses as Vera-Ellen "Baby" Firefly, but previous to
that, she claims that she had never had aspirations of becoming an
actress.[4]
As Moon explains her character in that film, "Baby is the
angelic-looking bait to get the victims."[4]
Moon starred alongside genre actors Sid Haig, Bill Moseley and Karen Black. The film was not received well
by many critics, including James Brundage of popular website Filmcritic who claimed that it was "too highbrow
to be a good cheap horror movie, too lowbrow to be satire, and too
boring to bear the value of the ticket."[5]
The film saw some expansion in later weeks and ultimately grossed
$16.8 million worldwide, which was successful based on its $7
million production budget.

Moon reprised her role as Baby Firefly in the 2005 sequel to
House of 1000 Corpses, titled The
Devil's Rejects. The Devil's Rejects was
financially successful, recouping its roughly $7 million budget
during its opening weekend, going on to earn over $16 million[6]
and better received by critics than its predecessor. Critic Roger Ebert gave the
film three out of a possible four stars. Ebert wrote, "If you are a
hardened horror movie fan capable of appreciating skill and wit in
the service of the deliberately disgusting, 'The Devil's Rejects'
may exercise a certain strange charm."[7]
Moon was awarded Spike TV's Scream Awards award for "Most Vile
Villain" alongside co-stars Haig, Moseley and Leslie
Easterbrook for their portrayal of the Firefly family.
Following that, she was awarded a Fuse/Fangoria
Chainsaw Award for best duo with her co-star Moseley.

Moon designed a clothing line, Total Skull,[8] which
debuted at the end of May 2006. She explains, "The phrase "total
skull" to me means awesome, rad, the best of the best."[3]
Total Skull can be bought through the online store, at Hot Topic stores, various
locations around the U.S. including Hollywood and Las Vegas,
one in Brighton, England and two store locations
in Australia.

In 2007, Moon starred in a short faux trailer segment for the
film Grindhouse. She appeared in the
segment directed by Zombie titled Werewolf Women of the SS as Eva
Krupp. She also appeared in her husband's version of the 1978
classic Halloween, playing Deborah
Myers, the mother of Michael Myers. It currently
stands as the highest grossing overall film in the Halloween franchise.[9]
Moon reprised her character in the sequel Halloween II,
which was released on August 28, 2009.
